Enjoying a warm fall day

Last weekend, we went to the buffalo zoo. AJ was excited to see the animals.

Clean boy!

Drying off after a bath. Look at that little face!

Playing Ball

AJ loves to play ball. He's really good at catching it (seriously!) and rolling it back to you.

Upside down

Watching TV upside down while Mommy dries us off after a bath.

Lounging Around

Goofing off in our puppy chair (thanks Aunt Chris!).

Gimme that camera!

...

Dad got in trouble for this one...

BRT!

Daddy was learning how to drive the fire engine, and stopped by the house. Although AJ was tired, he was excited to see the BRT (big red truck).

RIP Grandma Lucy

While we were in Buffalo last weekend, we were saddened to hear that Tracy's Grandmother passed away. We spent the rest of the day at her house with family, upset that she was gone, but celebrating her life. We are happy that she had a chance to meet AJ. Grandma Lucy was an amazing lady who always had a smile for you, and a fascinating story to tell. She raised 10 children, several grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and a few great-great-grandchildren. Rest in peace, Grandma Lucy. We love you and miss you.

Eating green stuff

We are very fortunate to have a good eater. And he wears it well...

Yum! Stroller!

Chewing on our stroller. How cute is that?

Erie County fair!

We went to Firefighter's day at the Erie County Fair, and had a lot of fun. Grandpa enjoyed walking with AJ.

Crawling!

AJ hit a major milestone, and we were lucky enough to capture it on video. These are his first "steps". As you can see, he's pretty good for a beginner. Now Mom and Dad have to get serious about baby-proofing the house.

I'm gonna getcha!

Daddy, give me that camera!

Playing with McKenna

While out for a walk tonight, our neighbor McKenna asked if she could push AJ. They both had a great time!

Whatchoo lookin' at?

AJ had a fun first trip to the zoo, even though he was more interested in watching the other people than the animals. We got lots of smiles and a very sleepy boy on the way home.

Lioness

The lioness chilling on her rock. We remember seeing her a few years ago when she was just a cub. AJ glanced at her, but was more interested in watching the wheels on his stroller turn. Good thing he got in for free!

Meeting the Elephants

The elephants were really active. They had a couple of them up by the fence, and AJ and Daddy got to pet one!

Happy boy

Playing in our exersaucer after getting home from daycare tonight. We're getting ready to go to the zoo!

Playing with our blocks

Leave it to our son to like the container more than the toys that came in it...

Hi up There

AJ loves playing on the floor. It seems like he's just seconds away from crawling...

Cousin Mikey, our 2nd Aunt Lisa and Cousin Nick

At cousin Mikey's house last weekend, AJ got to meet another aunt Lisa and cousin Nick. They aren't actually related to AJ, but part of his extended-extended family. As you can see in the video, AJ really liked Nick.

Almost Crawling

AJ loves playing on the floor. He rolls around, chases his puppy, and tries to reach his toys.

Chilling with Aunt Christine

AJ loves to party. We had a great time seeing everybody (especially the other kids). It won't be long now until we can run and play wih them too!

Swimming with Mommy

Last weekend we went to Grandpa and Grandma B's house for a party. AJ got to go swimming for the first time. Mommy and AJ both had a great time!
